Chevy truck painting

I bought this truck in 2008 and have been working on it ever since. It's my first vehicle, and has been the biggest single project I've ever been a part of. I love it to death. I've poured money and my labor into making it what it is today: a nicely re-built daily driver. It got it's paint job last summer and I just recently added finishing touches, and had it washed, so I had to finally take glamour shots. It's got a 350 in it with a TH350 transmission. I installed power steering which is nice, and I have a hitch receiver which hides behind the license plate (I also have an electric brake control set up, I hauled a trailer once for my brother). I also put in a new oak wood bed/strips; it looks so good! The truck is in great shape. It was originally a gov. vehicle for CA county of Glenn (when I got it it still had the emblem on the passenger side). I had it painted the factory original color, but with base/clear. I've tried to make this truck stay as stock as possible, with the exception of a new radio. It makes me feel like I'm driving a piece of history.
Hey, enjoy the video and keep trucking.

@ryleenjon Thanks! I just had it in my first car show, at my local church.

I really like the stock look. Other people can slam and bag theirs :).
